Shared local memory in PIX debugger

by

I’m trying to debug a compute shader. I’d like to step through the shader and inspect the value of groupshared memory:

groupshared float a[LENGTH];

But the value is always <unavailable>.

Is there anyway to get around this?

I try to copy to a local

float aa[8];
for (uint z = 0; z < LENGTH; z++) aa[z] = a[z];

but they you have to used it somehow or it will disappear from autos and be <not live> in watches. What’s a good way to keep the variable alive for debugging?
